Making matters worse?!

Now I have knee pain on the right as well as on the left, perhaps localised to the ITB area. At the circuit last night I couldn't do anything resembling a squat or lunge with either leg! Although I hoped the red shoes would provide some helpful support and cushioning during this rehab phase I wonder if they are making matters worse, as others have found. Ok, personal anecdotes are useless evidence but I think I'll try my next run in other shoes.
